• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

When I was reaching my book Warnings from 2005-2010 there was a website that had synoptic data and patterns for various historic tornadoes (e.g., Udall, Woodward, Ruskin Heights, etc.). I cannot seem to find it today. Does anyone know if it still exists and, if so, the URL?

Thanks, everyone!!
 
Tornado Archive – The Ultimate Tornado Data Viewer

This is the only one that exists at the moment that I'm aware of (the tornadohistoryproject went under a couple years ago). Click on "data explorer" and there is a ton of stuff going way back. Also take a look at SPC's tornado environment browser as well, it is pretty good along with their "violent tornado webpage" which highlights events that produced F/EF4+ tornadoes.

Here are the links for those:

Tornado Environment Browser (SPC): Tornado Environment Browser

Violent tornado webpage (SPC): https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/outbreaks/
